STRETCH MARK & SCAR CAMOUFLAGE
STRETCH MARK CAMOUFLAGE
What is Stretch Mark & Scar Camouflage ?
Its a semi-permanent tattooing method in which scars and stretch marks are camouflaged with customer matched flesh tone pigments, its purpose is to disguise the area that is missing pigment or color.
Who are candidates for this procedure?
*Scars and stretch marks must be aged greater than 6 months. Surgical scars must be 1 year old.
- We treat stretch marks in most common areas: abdomen from pregnancy, breasts, arms, legs, hips, back, flank, thighs and more
- We camouflage scars and blemishes such as: age spots, dermal pigmentation also known as "birth marks", burn, surgical, burn, and accident scars, and vitiligo
What to expect after the procedure?
Although scar camouflage can reduce the appearance of your scar, it is important to understand that scars are long lasting and no scar will never be completely invisible, Every scar is different: body location, size, shape, color, appearance and depth, and so on. Most scars require a series of treatments. Results are cumulative and may take 3-6 months to fully develop. IT TAKES PATIENCE. If you've had a scare for a while, you may notice that it doesn't tan the same way the same way the rest of your skin does. That's a natural characteristic of scar tissue and is not something we can change. However, the scar should be less visible because of the procedure.
Unlike harsher colored body tattoos, the skin tone micro pigments we use do fade over a number of years and will need to be touched up over time to maintain their appearance. Paramedical tattooing can successfully improve the scar appearance.
How many sessions do you need?
- Stretch marks can be done with just one session, although in some cases it may need a touch-up. The procedure can last from 45 mins onwards, depending on the size of the area and if number is required.
